Acacetin (5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone) which is naturally a flavone compounds presents in plants, has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Neuroinflammation is thought to be one of the major pathological mechanisms responsible for Parkinson's disease (PD), and has been a primary target in the development of treatment for PD. In this study, conformational search of the acacetin molecule has been performed. The FT-IR spectrum of this compound was recorded in the region 4000–400 cm-1. The FT-Raman spectrum was also recorded in the region 3500–50 cm-1. Vibrational frequencies of the title compound have been calculated by B3LYP with cc-pVDZ and cc-pVTZ basis sets. The calculations were performed at DFT levels by using Gaussian 09W program package, by invoking gradient geometry optimization. The calculated geometric parameters and vibrational frequencies were analyzed and compared with obtained experimental results.
